In the Republic of India, a chief minister is the head of government of each of the twenty-eight states and three of the eight union territories. According to the Constitution of India, at the state-level, the governor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the state government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. In thirty incumbents, Except Tamil Nadu's M. K. Stalin, other Chief Ministers also acted as the leader of the house in State Assemblies. Given they have the assembly's confidence, the chief minister's term is usually for a maximum of five years; there are no limits to the number of terms they can serve.^[1]

As of March 2025^[update], the office of the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir is vacant with no new elections having being held ever since the autonomy of the former state was revoked. Of the thirty incumbents, one is a woman—Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. Serving since 5 March 2000 (for 24 years, 361 days), Odisha's Naveen Patnaik has the longest incumbency. Mizoram's Zoramthanga (b. 13 July 1944) is the oldest Chief Minister, while Arunachal Pradesh's Pema Khandu (b. 21 August 1979) is the youngest Chief Minister.^[2] Nitish Kumar of Bihar has served for the most terms (8).^[3] Ten incumbents belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party, four to the Indian National Congress and two to the Aam Aadmi Party. No other party has more than one chief minister in office.
